paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Softcover. Zustand: gut. Auflage: 2 (Juni 1962). In the classic bestseller, Capitalism and Freedom, Milton Friedman presents his view of the proper role of competitive capitalism--the organization of economic activity through private enterprise operating in a free market--as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. Beginning with a discussion of principles of a liberal society, Friedman applies them to such constantly pressing problems as monetary policy, discrimination, education, income distribution, welfare, and poverty. "Milton Friedman is one of the nation's outstanding economists, distinguished for remarkable analytical powers and technical virtuosity. He is unfailingly enlightening, independent, courageous, penetrating, and above all, stimulating."-Henry Hazlitt, Newsweek "It is a rare professor who greatly alters the thinking of his professional colleagues. It's an even rarer one who helps transform the world. Friedman has done both."-Stephen Chapman, Chicago Tribune Mitte der 50er Jahre betrat ein Mann die ökonomische Arena, der schon zu Lebzeiten zur Legende werden sollte Milton Friedman. Seine genial einfache Geldmengentheorie brachte Friedman nicht nur den Nobelpreis ein, sondern machte ihn auch zum einflußreichsten Ökonomen der 80er und 90er Jahre. Seine Theorie wurde weltweit begeistert in Wirtschaftspolitik umgesetzt -- von Maggie Thatcher, Ronald Reagan oder Augusto Pinochet. Dies stärkte Friedmans Ruf als großer Wissenschaftler, zugleich aber auch als politischer Rechtsaußen, als "Prediger des schrankenlosen Egoismus". Noch immer ist Friedman ebenso einflußreich wie umstritten. Ein begnadeter Redner, der seine Theorien perfekt zu vermarkten weiß, aber vor allem ist er ein leidenschaftlicher Ideologe. Ein "liberaler Anarchist", wie ihn sein Sohn einmal charakterisierte. "Ist es ein Zufall, daß so viele Reformen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte nutzlos waren und daß sie Hoffnungen zu Asche wurden? Ist der Grund in der Tatsache zu suchen, daß die Programme im Detail unvollkommen waren?", frägt Friedman in seinem ideologischen Hauptwerk Capitalism and Freedom, "Ich meine, die Antwort auf diese Frage ist ein klares Nein. Der Hauptfehler dieser Maßnahmen liegt darin, daß seitens der Regierung versucht wird, die Menschen dazu zu zwingen, gegen ihre eigenen unmittelbaren Interessen zu handeln, um einem angenommenen Gemeininteresse zu dienen." Friedman schlußfolgert, daß eine freie Gesellschaft nur unter den Bedingungen eines freien Marktes entstehen kann, frei von jeder staatlichen Einflußnahme und Machtkonzentration. Diesen radikalen Gedanken hat Friedman 1962 erstmals publiziert. Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung und des weltweiten Zerfalls überkommener sozialer Strukturen, erscheint sein Ansatz jedoch so aktuell wie niemals zuvor.

It's an even rarer one who helps transform the world. Friedman has done both."-Stephen Chapman, Chicago Tribune "Capitalism and Freedom" is not quite as easy a read as another one of Friedman's fine books, "Free to Choose," but, it is still accessible to non economic majors. Friedman sets forth some of his classic views in this book such as the negative income tax and free trade. One of his most interesting discussions is his questioning of the role of state universities and colleges. He likens the low tuitions at these public institutions to scholarships and wonders why those who go to public, as opposed to private universities deserve such scholarships. He raises, in 1963, a topic that is timely now school vouchers. Most controversially, Friedman believes that almost all professional licensing should be done away with. In other words, he believes the free market can protect the consumer and that even licensing of physicians may not be necessary. In fact, such licensing may stifle innovation. Whether o9r not you agree with Friedman, this book raises fascinating questions and provides well thought out answers. Capitalism and Freedom (Phoenix Books) von Milton Friedman Rose D.
